About

CAS consists of an online art journal as well as a physical residency program for critics, writers and researchers. Through our work, we aim to contribute meaningful conversation relevant to the Stavanger region’s art scene, while at the same time connecting the content to a larger national and international discourse – we therefore publish in both Norwegian and English. In addition to reviews, essays, and interviews, we explore the expansive possibilities of CAS’ online platform and investigate different ways of working with writers, residencies, and the format of art writing and criticism. We at CAS are dedicated to presenting a wide range of perspectives, voices, and subject matter. Read more

Studio K group exhibition: “Beyond the skin, folds”

March 20, 2021 @13:30 - April 10, 2021 @16:00 CET Exhibition

About

Studio K: “Beyond the skin, folds”

What is a body? Where does the body end? Can it stretch, expand beyond its own limits, like rings in water activated by one center? Shape, volume, color, mass, softness, hardness, elasticity. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. The physical body carries its life, its own history. It makes impressions on the environment and the relationships it touches, and is itself marked by touch. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. The body leaves something behind, and takes something else with it. How to exist in a body that is in constant transformation and development? What exactly is a body in this time where we cannot physically meet or touch each other, when our shared experiences arise through screens? What is the digital weight of a human being?

“Beyond the skin, folds” is an exhibition that challenges the body’s boundaries and what it means to be (in) a body. Studio K invites you to a dynamic exhibition, consisting of works by six selected artists who approach the question Where does the body end? in different ways. Through the works’ diversity in expressions and mediums, the exhibition testifies to the organic human body and its various possibilities and functions. The exhibiting artists are: Evy Horpestad Tjåland (NO), Katinka Halland (NO), Eirik Melstrøm (NO), Franzisca Siegrist (Switzerland / Spain / NO), Astrid Hjortdal (DK) and Paulius Sliaupa (Lithuania). The exhibition is curated by Kari Ann Lending Kleiveland.

Opening hours:
Saturday 20th of March: 13.00-16.00
Thursday 25th of March: 17.00-19.00
Saturday 27th of March: 13.00-16.00
Saturday 3rd of April: 13.00 online reading Astrid Hjortdal (it will be shared her https://fb.me/e/cZN8gM3Jw)
Thursday 8th of April: 17.00-19.00
Saturday 10th of April: 13.00-16.00 finissage w/performance Franzisca Siegrist 13.30

Due to infection control we will not have an event for the exhibition opening as we normally would (with a speech, flowers etc.). We thus hope for a more dynamic flow of visitors through all the opening hours.

Free entrance and coffee!

The event is supported by Rogaland Fylkeskommune and Time Kommune.
